"La rentrée"

The French term "rentrée" doesn't have a true, straightforward, one-word equivalent in English.

Of course, most everyone has heard of "back to school" time, used especially for elementary and secondary school pupils. Below are a few rough equivalents adapted to postsecondary studies but not meant as direct translations of "la rentrée." Consider them instead as ways of conveying the idea or message when you translate; that's what matters most.
